The chopped Italian sandwich trend videos get it all wrong!
They hack everything together and you lose the texture that makes this sandwich SO DELICIOUS. Cut each ingredient properly. Grill the peppers for smoke and sweetness. Toss it all, then pile it into a toasted seeded roll.
Use
@ShunCutlery Shiranami knives, including the stunning brand new bread knife that can handle a sandwich this loaded without crushing it.
Check out the link in my bio for the recipe.

"STOP MISGENDERING ME!"
Newly released bodycam footage shows a trans University of Central Florida student's pronoun meltdown after a confrontation with police quickly spiraled into an arrest.
Jarrett Vick was ultimately charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct, and resisting an officer with violence for the 2025 incident.
Throughout the confrontation Vick ignored police orders, repeatedly shouted female pronouns at officers, and attempted to evade arrest.
Police say Vick became combative after they responded to reports of a verbal altercation and were ultimately forced to use pepper spray, deploying a Taser, and handcuff Vick.

Elon Musk has a relatively low survival threshold and can live on the bare minimum. He once tried living on $1 a day, and for him, it was an important psychological and philosophical experiment.
“My threshold for existing is pretty low. I mean, I figured I could be in some dainty apartment with my computer and be okay and not starve. In fact, when I first came to North America, and just to sort of see what it takes to live, I'd try to live on $1 a day, which I was able to do.
I went more for the hot dogs. Hot dogs and oranges. But you do get really tired of hot dogs and oranges after a while. And you can also like, you know, pasta and green pepper and a big thing of sauce, and that can go pretty far too. So I was like, oh, okay, you know, if I can live for a dollar a day, then at least from a food cost standpoint, well, it's pretty easy to earn like $30 in a month, you know?”

Chili Pepper Price Trends 2026
Nine years ago there were already rumors that chili pepper futures would be listed. I researched it at length and even wanted to visit the production regions in India, but nothing ever came of it.
Here I have to say something about AI hallucination, which increasingly demands vigilance these days. AI swore up and down that the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange had listed chili pepper futures. Fortunately I trade every day; after a moment of doubt, I confirmed that the Zhengzhou exchange has no such thing.
Back to the main story.
The top boss among chili producing regions is of course China, now accounting for nearly half of global output, at 22 million metric tons per year against world production of 44 million tons. That output has fully doubled from twenty years ago to today.
The growth in chili demand tracks partly with population growth and partly with economic growth: as incomes rise, people dine out more, and chili demand rises with it. Alongside this came the territorial conquest of Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, and the penetration of Mexican tacos into the United States.
However, chili flavors differ by variety, and fresh chilis are hard to transport and store, so price correlation between the Americas and Asia is not high.
Chinese and Indian chili prices, meanwhile, are increasingly intertwined. This is mainly because India’s S17, a high heat dried chili, occupies an ever larger place in Sichuan and Hunan cooking. People’s palates keep getting heavier: spiciness only ever intensifies, never lightens.
India’s actual output is about half of China’s, but because it is dried chili, its nominal volume appears to be only one tenth of China’s.
Chili shares two traits with other vegetables.
First, the cobweb effect: farmers blindly chase prices, so price and output repeat in cycles, circling in place like a spiderweb, like the succession of ancient dynasties.
Second, eating at the mercy of the heavens: climate has an enormous impact on chili output. But climate effects in China, India, and Mexico are not synchronized.
If you compare the overlap between apple and chili growing regions, you may find some correlation between Chinese chili and apple prices, but chili has its own characteristics. Cold storage apple prices do not affect new season contracts, whereas chili cold storage inventory can affect market prices directly, with no futures influence.
Still, the structural contradiction here is obvious. Last year’s high dried chili inventory and high import volume, stacked on weak food service consumption, formed one side. Meanwhile the small fresh chilis of daily consumption, thanks to the cobweb effect, saw planted acreage fall by 20 percent. So on some wholesale price indexes, you can see Sanyingjiao chili prices rebounding.
For those in the growing and wholesale trade, expectation management is critically important.

This is really big news. Google introduced the Open Knowledge Format (OKF) - a standardized way to store information in a directory of markdown files. Makes it really easy to make a digital brain that agents can use.
These files can serve as a living wiki. You can give agents the ability to query them or edit them. They can interlink.
Seems to me this could replace Notion or Obsidian. I can think of so many uses for this.
Google's blog post:
An easier to understand explanation is the SPEC.md file:
I gave those two links to Antigravity and asked how we could use it for any of the projects we're working on. It came up with so many ideas. I would imagine Claude Fable 5 would whip up some pretty amazing things based on this system.
Currently creating an OKF library of our pepper garden. It's going to be a fun weekend.
